politics until the time comes to elect
a successor to Senator McMillan.

Republican campaign managers are

of the lenders among the Silver

OAPT. JA8. H. BURT,
Fourth Ward.
The Democrat is informed by a
prominent local Eepublican close to
the councils of his party that Gov.
Roosevelt has been brought to Akron
to overcome the severe disaffec
tion among local Bepublicans who
disapprove of the Administration's
policy of imperialism. Nothing will
be neglpcted to stir up Eepublican
enthusiam in Summit county, and
all for the glory of the great I Am,
the ambitious Col. Dick. He will
get ali the glory.
Dispatches to the Plain Dealer
from Columbus show that Col. Dick
is going to make a special effort to
carry Summit county this fall, as he
was called down byHannatwo years
ago for not having the county better
in band. The opening of the cam
paign at Akron is a part of Dick's
plans in this regard. Everybody
knows that this is true. But the
voters of Summit county are not
going to be influenced by red fire and
brass bands in this year of grace.
They were duped once and have had
time to repent of their mistake.

Candidate for Land Appraiser.
Mr. V. A. Clark, of 605 "West Cedur St., will
be a candidate for the Democratio nomina
tion for real estate appraiser in the Fifth
ward. Mr. Clark Is a veteran of the Civil
war, having served in Battery A, First Ohio
Light Artillery from '61 to '65.
Tub prolonged deadlock over the
appointment of City Commissioners
is likely to result in one benefit to
the people of Akron it will very
likely bring about the repeal of the
law next winter. Akron is only
going through the same experience
that Youngstown had last winter.
The Youngstown Probate Judge,
line AKron's, insisted on governing
the city by proxy, and the deadlook
caused by his failure to get his favor
ites in office lasted for more than
eight months. The people will break
the Akron deadlock next fall by
breaking the authority of Judge
Anderson.
DON'T BE HOODWINKED.
The .Dobson organ is trying to set
Summit county's Democrats to fight
ing one another on account of the
gubernatorial nomination.
It is not necessary to tell the local
Democrats how much credence they
ought to give to the statements made
in the political columns of tho Bea
con. In another column of today's
democrat, Chairman E. L. Andrew
tells how he was grossly misrepre
sented by the Dobson paper last
night, and Mayor Young and Clerk
Isbell also tell what they think of
the Dobsonian lies that were told
about them.
At the convention two weeks hence
Summit county's Democrats are
going to give Judge C.,R. Grant an
enthusiastic and unanimous endorse
ment for the nomination for Justice
of the Supreme Court, and they are
going to send a delegation to Zanes
ville which will use all honorable
means to bring about his nomination.
And many of Summit county's Dem
ocrats, in addition to the regular
delegation, will be on hand to urge
the nominatiou of Judge Grant.
The assumption, therefore, in the
the columns of the Dobson organ,
that local Democrats do not know
that the gubernatorial contest has no
part in determining the selection of
delegates, as to do so would injure
the candidacy of Judge Grant,
denotes even a greater degree of
imbecility on the part of our neigh
bor than Akron people have given it
credit for.
Local Democrats will keep their

Kent Won Ball Games The Com
petitive Drill.
The Maccabees of Ohio held their
sixth annual picnic at Silver lake
Thursday. It was the most success
ful outing over given by this organi
zation. In point of attendance it
was the banner day of the season for
this resort.
The perfect weather hastened the
early arrival of special trains from
Alliance, Salem, East Liverpool,
Mt. Vernon, Delphos, Canton and
Cleveland. At two o'clock by a close
estimate the crowd numbered about
11,000. During the morning hours
concerts were given at the various
stands throughout the grounds by
the K. O. T. M. band of Akron, the
New Berlin, Benton and Copley
bands. At 12 o'clock the entire party
adjourned for dinner. Every table
on tho grounds was taken and many
parties were compelled to wait for
more room.
The afternoon program consisted
of a long line of Athletic contests
and speeches by the state officers.
The following officers were present
and spoke upon the life and social
benefits of the order:
Dr. L. E. Sisler, Akron, president
of the day; Supreme Commander
Hon. H. D. Markey, of Port Huron,
Mich.; Supreme L. O. T. M. Com
mander Mrs. Hallister of Detroit,
Mich.; Great Commander Prof.
H. M. Parker, superintendent
ofElyria, O., schools; State Record
Keeper Ed. L. Young, of Nor-
walk, O. ; State Lady Commander
Mrs. Emma S. Olds of Elyria, O.,
and State Lady Record Keeper Lydia
R. DeGroate of Cleveland.
The afternoon sports opened up at
1 o'clock with a ball game between
the Kent and New Berlin teams for
a purse of $25. Partisans of both
clubs were present and at times
trouble was narrowly avoided. A
very ragged game was played by
both teams for several innings, Kent
Anally winning out in the ninth by
opportune batting. Close decisions
in two innings witnessed tho with
drawal of Kent from the field. Each
time they were however, persuaded
to resume play. The teams batted:
Kent Bachtel cf, E. Denning c,
Stevens 3b, Spade p, L. Maskrey 2b,
J. Dennig If, Hunt ss, France lb,

New Berlin Schiltz 2b, Schick rf,

Kent 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 129
The two mile and a half bicycle
race was run in very slow tune and
won easily by G. M. Calhoun of
Cleveland. John L. Dixon of Akron
secured second. Later it was ascer
tained that Calhoun was a profes
sional and he was disqualified. Dix
on was given nrst prize and h. B.
Jenkins of Macedonia second money.
The prizes were $10 and $5.
The ladies' competitive drill was
the feature of the afternoon and was
hotly contested. Four hives were
entered. The Favorite Hive of Ak
